Do Lite-Brites make you duck for cover? Perhaps the mere sight of Ignignokt fills you with fear of the dreaded Quad-Glacier. Maybe you are just tripping your balls off and easily suggestible. The discovery of these LED throwies placed the city of Boston in DEFCON 1. In a post 9/11 world it is understandable to error on the side of caution and take these reports seriously, but Boston officials showed no shame by getting duped by this tragic marketing gimmick.
Turner Broadcasting agreed to pay $2 million for costs and restitution for the overzealous police response and pressed charges of placing a hoax device and disorderly conduct on the miscreants that placed the devices.
“Just a little over a mile away from the placement of the first device, a group of terrorists boarded airplanes and launched an attack on New York City,” police Commissioner Edward Davis said in an interview with The Associated Press.
“The city clearly did not overreact. Had we taken any other steps, we would have been endangering the public,” he said.
I know I can sleep safe at night after the courageous actions of the Boston police Commissioner.
